Forensics History

Next to each given year is a series of links to each associated item we've collected. In most cases, it's a photo of that year's Congress Debate Club, labeled "cdc". You'll also find "oc" (Oratorical Contestants), "list" (list of members that year), "ndc" (Normal Debate Club), "gdc" (Girls Debate Club), "icdt" (Inter-Collegiate Debate Team), "squad" (self explanatory), "wda" (Western Debate Associates), "v" (represents Varsity), "n" (represents Novice), and "or" (on-campus Oratorical Contests). Note that the NDC was associated with Normal School, which was a preperatory school for the college.

The Randall Capps Collection - submitted photos from the late 1940s into the mid 1950s.
